An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in preliminary provisions, providing for mandate waiver program.

HB 2095 creates a program allowing Pennsylvania school districts to request waivers from specific requirements of the Public School Code, regulations, or standards. School districts must adopt a board resolution to apply, or intermediate units can apply for multiple districts if all member districts approve. The Department of Education must review applications within 60 days (automatic approval if no decision is made), and districts must submit evaluations after five years to renew waivers showing improved student performance or operations. Certain provisions, such as those related to student safety and assessments, are explicitly exempt from waiver requests.
